I see .. That testing is very important, thanks.
I guess I am rather worried that our first reviewer actually
thought he could trust us on the IP review. I suspect I have
also been the only looking at the NOTICE and LICENSE files.
you were not the only one but I had nothing to add so far ;-)
But I don't know if you have the feedback on general@incubator to my
request for early feedback.
Yes, and that's precisely why I am worried ;-).
Marvin was surprise that our LICENSE file contains ALv2 license only
and list not all licenses of used externals.
No finger pointing but this was a surprise for me too: we were wrongly
advised that LICENSE should only carry the AL2.
I added a DISCLAIMER file (I used Apache OpenOffice but please note that
officially we still are the Apache OpenOffice.org incubator), And I did
some
more cleanups on the thirdpartylicenses.html which is a good basis to
complete the information.
I plan to merge the remaining licenses but I want to keep the same
order as in the NOTICE file: we have the non-Apache stuff in two
sections according to the license category.
Any opinions on this how we can address this best?
The great weakness I've seen is that we have left most work to
Andrew and this shouldn't be a one man effort. Normal audits
are done by N volunteers dividing the tree in N parts, and binaries
(particularly zip files) have to be reviewed too.
I agree it shouldn't be a one man show and it depends on Andrew a little
bit. When he says he has finished the header cleanup from an Oracle
perspective we can start to take a closer look on the other remaining
files based on the RAT output.
That said ...
if we had an updated OpenGrok or a real equivalent it would be
a lot easier.
of course a working OpenGrok would be nice. We have a local instance
running that gets updated every night but that doesn't help you at the
moment :-(
Well my first approach to ask for OpenGrok on the infrastructure mailing
list was not promising and I gave up after some emails at this time and
concentrated on other more important things.
But I will try it again because the alternatively proposed tools haven't
convinced me. So many things where people can start working on ...
As I said we don't need coders for this but this is a good way to
get to know the components and code structure under OO.
volunteers are welcome indeed ;-)

cheers,

This things are non-technical and anyone with patience and/or
some skills with grep can help a lot!
Cheers,
Pedro.
